Recent El Raval Reviews

This appartement is very well located. You can walk everywhere: central point of interest, bars, tapas, shops, convenience stores, cafés, ramblas, etc. Metro station at 600m. Aerobus drops you off at 4 minutes walking distance. Can't ask for more if you are looking to stay in an area where the young and cool people hangout. Its close to bars but still quiet. Except when there is a party next door until 4:30 am! The appartement is Nice, clean and well decorated and Lionel is a very accessible host. The stand up shower is nice and the water is hot and steady. However, the flat is a little humide and the air sanitizer dispenser are noizy and annoying for going off every 9 minutes. It was waking us at night so we turned it off, but then noticed a smell of sewage. But aside from that everything was great. There is planty of maps and travel books and business cards that people have left behind so that you can get your way around.

Our stay, for four nights, was in early October. The location, at the southern end of La Rambla, quite close to the market, is good. The unit was quiet and clean. The small kitchen was more than adequate. The elevator can hold two people. The unit is furnished rather sparsely, although the sofa was comfortable. There was no extra toilet paper, no soap or any other supplies. The owner, “J.B.,” is quite pleasant but did not provide any tourist information in the unit, or when he met us. His communication before the trip was excellent. The second bedroom is really tiny, and the floor plan unusual. The bathroom needs some upgrading. All in all, we would recommend it if it remains moderately priced.

This apartment met all our needs - close to Placa Catalunya, 2 blocks to Las Ramblas, the Gothic district. The apartment was located on a side street, that while it contained plenty of shops, cafes, was much less noisy than we'd been concerned with before we arrived. We were well isolated from any noise in the bedroom. Ludo had the apartment nicely furnished with all the necessary creature comforts. Small markets were within the block, and a supermarket was 4 blocks away that met all of our needs. Was the perfect place to base our vacation; the metro was within a block and a half and so much was also within a comfortable 15-20 minute walk.
Ludo made the rental experience easy, and was available via telephone for any questions we had. We took him up on his offer of a taxi - delivered us right to the door, where we were met with keys, introductory overview and a bottle of champagne. We'd heartily recommend this apartment.
